Lady Wildcats fall to Glynn Academy

RICHMOND HILL - Richmond Hill’s Kayla Taylor got a spinning shot into the net to give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead over Glynn Academy at the 29:18 mark of the second half Friday; but the lone goal was not enough as the Red Terrors answered with two of their own to take a 2-1 win in Region 3AAAAA play.

The first Glynn goal came on a rebounded shot that Wildcat goal keeper Caroline Smith had successfully blocked but was not able to control not quite two minutes after Taylor’s.’

For the next 22 minutes the two teams’ defenses stymied every scoring attempt by their opponents until Glynn got on the board again. This time with a perfectly placed shot just between the fingers of a diving Smith and the net post.

“They are the best team we will face in region play this year,” Wildcat Head Coach Steve Kollman said after the game. “I just wish we had been able to play more than once before tonight. Our touches were off just a bit. But now we’ve got almost the whole month of March before we play them again down in Brunswick, we’ll be ready then.”

Young Harris College signee Lisa Basum was credited with an assist on Taylor’s goal.
